High pressure will slide off the northern New England coastline today and this will allow moisture to advance into our region from the southwest. While there can be a few rain showers early today, the heaviest and steadiest rainfall during this next precipitation event will hold off until late today, tonight and Saturday. Also, as the initial rain showers move into the region this morning, it may be just cold enough at the start for some sleet to mix in at times in suburban locations well to the N and W of the District. Behind the system on Sunday, clearing skies will take place with a chilly wind, and it’ll stay colder-than-normal for this time of year. After that, attention will turn to the coastline for the possibility of a strong storm to form in the "late Monday/Tuesday/early Wednesday" time frame.
